How Microneedling Works
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, encouraging smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture, making it a versatile choice for skin rejuvenation at Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery in Phoenix.
Before and After Results
Before microneedling, skin may show visible signs of aging, uneven texture, or scarring. After treatment, patients typically notice a smoother, firmer complexion with reduced fine lines and improved radiance. Results continue to enhance over time as collagen production increases for a naturally refreshed appearance.

This personalized evaluation helps determine if microneedling is the right treatment for your needs. We’ll answer your questions and explain what to expect, ensuring you feel confident and informed before moving forward.
- Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Before your microneedling appointment, you may be advised to avoid certain skincare products, sun exposure, and specific medications to reduce the risk of irritation. Our team will provide you with clear instructions tailored to your unique needs. Proper preparation helps ensure optimal results and a safe, comfortable experience.
- What to Expect on Treatment Day
On the day of your microneedling treatment, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. The procedure itself is quick and typically well-tolerated, with minimal downtime. Our team will guide you through each step and provide aftercare instructions for the best possible results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Cleansing and Preparation
Before your microneedling session begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities and makeup. A topical numbing cream is typically applied to enhance your comfort during the procedure. This initial preparation ensures your skin is ready for optimal results and a safe, effective treatment experience.
Microneedling Process
Once your skin is prepped and numbed, your provider will use a specialized microneedling device to create controlled micro-channels across the treatment area. The device glides gently over your skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing response and collagen production. Most patients describe the sensation as mild, with minimal discomfort due to the numbing cream.
Application of Serums
After microneedling, soothing serums or growth factors are often applied to enhance your results and promote healing. The micro-channels created during the procedure allow for deeper penetration of these beneficial products. This step helps calm the skin and supports the rejuvenation process for maximum benefit.
Post-Treatment Care
Your provider will review aftercare instructions, including which products to use and activities to avoid. Mild redness and sensitivity are common for a day or two, but most patients can resume normal routines shortly after treatment. Proper post-care helps ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results from your microneedling session.

What to Expect After Treatment
- Immediate Post-Procedure Sensations
After your microneedling session, it is normal to experience mild redness and sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn. These sensations typically last for 24 to 48 hours and indicate that your skin’s natural healing process is underway. Most patients find any discomfort to be minimal and manageable.
- Managing Redness and Swelling
Redness and minor swelling are common side effects following microneedling and usually subside within a couple of days. Applying gentle, hydrating skincare products as recommended by your provider can help soothe your skin. It’s important to avoid harsh products or exfoliants during this initial healing phase.
- Sun Protection and Skincare
Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after microneedling, so diligent sun protection is essential. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible to protect your results. Following a gentle skincare routine will support optimal healing and maintain your skin’s improvement.
- Timeline for Visible Results
Most patients notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance within a week of treatment, with continued benefits as collagen production increases over the following weeks. Optimal results are typically seen after a series of sessions, as recommended by your provider. Consistency with aftercare will help you achieve the best possible outcome.
When to Expect Visible Results
After microneedling, you may notice an initial glow within a few days, but visible improvements in skin texture and tone typically develop over the next one to two weeks. Collagen production continues to increase for several weeks, leading to further enhancement in the appearance of fine lines, scars, and overall skin radiance. Most patients see the best results after a series of treatments, as recommended by their provider.
